I must be getting old because I have NO idea what fentanyl even is. But since it's being talked about in a bar atmosphere, i'm guessing something bad brewers are using. Again, No idea what it is.

It's a drug that a lot of other drugs are being laced with and it's super deadly because it hardly takes any to kill you.

Oregon voters decided that it is better to encourage drug use and treat the results. So now we have an epidemic of drug deaths. Is this what you voted for?

People are going to use drugs if they are an addict or someone just experimenting. Why not provide a way for people to not die when they are using. Maybe it will even help people quit. I think It's a great idea.

They don't need to be the middle man for illegal drugs.

If you are smart enough to ask for your drugs to be tested, you should be scared enough to not use them.

To me, then bars are saying OK to drug use but we don't want you to be sick or die while here.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
